We don’t need much of a reason to celebrate the end of 2020, but some SA eateries have decided to pull out all the stops, offering special New Year’s Eve experiences that will have you toasting the night — and the year — away.
We’ve gathered a few options for your celebration consideration. As per usual, do your research and make sure you're comfortable with the safety precautions being offered by the venues.
Ocho’s Cena de Nochevieja
Ocho’s Chef Kirk is planning a decadent three-course New Year’s Eve dinner paired with Andalusia whiskey. The food menu boasts beef marrow tacos — paired with a neat pour of the booze — as well as prime rib and a black eyed pea brownie, each paired with an Andalusia whiskey cocktail. Vegetarian options are available, and seating will be limited. The dinner will be served at 7 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, and will cost $75 per person. 1015 Navarro St., (210) 222-2008, Ocho on EventBrite.
